PUR Gum | Sugar Free Chewing Gum | 100% Xylitol | Vegan, Aspartame Free, Gluten Free & Diabetic Friendly | Natural Bubblegum Flavored Gum, 55 Pieces (Pack of 12)

I picked up a box of PUR Bubblegum gum because I’m always on the hunt for better snacks that don’t have a laundry list of questionable ingredients. The fact that it’s aspartame-free and uses xylitol instead felt like a win for me and my kids. Plus, the bubblegum flavor brings me right back to childhood. The gum has a nice texture - soft, but not the kind that falls apart after a minute. The flavor is good, though it doesn’t last as long as some other brands. That said, it’s still worth it, knowing I’m avoiding artificial sweeteners. My kids love it, and I don’t feel guilty letting them chew away. The resealable bags are a bonus, especially since they keep the gum fresh (and prevent little hands from leaving the bag open). The price for a pack of 12 bags seemed fair for the quality, and knowing it’s made in Switzerland adds a bit of trust. If you’re looking for a better option for gum, this is worth trying.

I initially tried this out of curiosity over a year ago and did not like it, flavor ran out fast, gave me weird sensations on my tongue, and then I just never bought anymore. I was very much too addicted to the usual, "mainstream" cheaper gum, and I chewed gum to chase the flavor, breath freshening, etc.. but I realized if I'm gonna basically make chewing gum my " forever drug" I should seek long term benefits, and xylitol is what makes this gum really good, for your teeth especially. I eventually got used to chewing PUR, and I prefer it over regular gum now, it's a lot more expensive but I found that chewing in moderation, after meals, I can make a 12 pack purchase last me multiple months, so it's not too bad, give it a try, I recommend it.

A few of my kids have pre-cavities in their mouths, meaning they don’t quite have a cavity yet, but if something doesn’t change, that’s the route those spots are headed. We already have great dental hygiene practices, so I needed something else to help. I read up on xylitol and how it can reverse these pre-cavities that are still in the enamel, improve mouth ph, and generally improve the oral micro biome. So we have started implementing 5 pieces of xylitol gum per day. The PUR brand is the best value per piece that I have found, and it has a lot of great flavors. My kids like the mint, but a few of them find it too strong. This bubble gum flavor is perfect for those kiddos. I like that the pieces aren’t too big, either. I need two as an adult, but my first grader only needs one. The ingredients are very simple, and the small packages are perfect for stashing in glove compartments, book bags, etc. The gum chews for quite a while, maybe 2 hours, without changing texture, and it’s not too sticky. We love it so far!

Healthy for teeth

Glad that there’s a clean gum option out there, but they need to work on lasting flavor. The flavor is great for thirty seconds, then it quickly disappears and is gone after 3 minutes. There is no point to this gum.
